Verizon
has just posted a
deal on the Palm Pre Plus and Palm Pixi Plus smartphones
that is nothing short of incredible.

With all Palm's recent
struggles, the company is turning to big discounts to try to heat
up sales. It hopes that sales of webOS phones, originally
carried by Sprint, will pick up now that they are carried
on Verizon, the nation's largest wireless network.

That
seems virtually certain to happen, now that Verizon has offered a
pretty incredible deal on the phones. It's slashed the price of
Pre Plus smart phones from the launch price of $149.99 down to $49.99
and the price of the Palm Pixi from $99.99 at launch down to $29.99,
with a two-year contract.

But that's not all. According
to multiple reports, the phones will still be eligible for Verizon's
Buy-One-Get-One [free] promotion. That means that with BOGO,
you should be able to score two webOS smart phones for a mere $29.99
with 2 year contract.

But the
deals don't stop there. Verizon apparently has cut the $40
hotspot fee for using the Palm devices as wireless hotspots down to
nothing. In other words, in addition to 2 smart phones $29.99
(and a 2 phone contract) will also score you a free 5 Gb/month
hotspot, something which costs up to $60/month from competitors.

For
single users, you can also score a Palm Pre Plus with two-year
Verizon contract for $29.99
from Amazon.com. This offer has been available since early
last month.

Perhaps overshadowed by this bargain was last weeks' news that the Pre Plus and Pixi
plus will be hitting
the AT&T network later this year. The nation's
fastest data network and second biggest network in terms of
subscribers, AT&T will reported offer the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus
for $149.99 and $49.99 respectively, with new two year contract.

I love my Pre Plus, and that was one of the feature that I was looking forward to, until I found out it was billed $50 a month. But the phone more than made it up for it.Now that we get it free, it's even better.
